Injury Report: Thunder Without Dort, Rockets Missing Jalen Green for Wednesday Battle

Both Oklahoma City and Houston will both be without key pieces when they battle on Wednesday.

Oklahoma City is preparing for the front half of a back-back-to-back with Houston on Wednesday.

The Thunder begin February after a hot January ended with a loss to the Warriors. The Thunder continue to reach a .500 record as the season draws closer to the All-Star break.

The OKC injury report isn’t lengthy, but the missing players are key. Lu Dort remains out with a hamstring injury. Aleksej Pokusevski remains out with a significant knee injury, which continues to sideline him.

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will once again be absent as he continues to nurse an ankle injury, but has made progress in his return.

OKC is no stranger to the injury bug as it has struck numerous times throughout the year.

The Thunder have looked better than many had expected entering the season, but will once again have a tough opponent to continue to fight in the Western Conference.

The Rockets enter the game without both Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr.

Health and depth will be key factors in the matchup.

Here are the most recent injury reports for both squads entering tonight:

Oklahoma City Thunder:

Lu Dort: Out: Right Hamstring Strain

Chet Holmgren: Out: Right foot surgery

Lindy Waters: Out: G League Two-Way

Aleksej Pokusevski: Out: Left Tibial Plateau nondisplaced fracture

Houston Rockets:
